It is expected last year's total wagerings at all tracks in Canada, $21,695,523, will pe equalled this vear regardless of the bad business | in the first half of the season. Figures are not complete yet, but officials in charge of such statistics here said today they are confident | the unusually poor support racing | got last spring was offset fully by the response to autumn meets. This reversal in the public atti- tude towards the ponies, it was be- lieved, reflects a basic change in attitude regarding the war itself, although other factors probably en- ter into the picture at the same time. Last spring was marked by a de- gree of general uncertainty, the of- ficials said. Now a definite confi- dence had developed. The man on the street was more certain of ulti- mate victory, even though recon- ciled to a long, hard struggle, so he continued his usual diversions-- such as racing. There was more money in circu- lation, too, because hundreds of millions of dollars were being spent on war orders. tSill another factor might have been the weather. During the spring and early summer. meets at many tracks the weather was cold and wet while this fall generally it was fine, encouraging attendance. to | takes place at | exhibition series | The | Buffalo, Rodney, Montreal, London and Other Wells Known Beagle Centres Send Entries -- Good Weather Favors Trials But "Quarry" Proves Scarce -- Lloyd Courtice Makes Fine Show The Oshawa Beagle Club held its annual field trials at their "trial grounds" on Oct. 26 and 27, and had a very successful meeting.

The judges this year were Earl O, Wall of Forest, Ont. assisted by the following Oshawa Beaglers: John Osborne, John Shewchuk and Lloyd Courtice. Cottontails were very. scarce thi§ year due to foxes, owls and cats, Hunting conditions were poor bug weather conditions were ideal fom the spectators. Visitors were noticed from Rodney.

One of the features was the showe ing madé by Lloyd Courtice of Cours tice, Ont., in winning both the 13« inch class, with Highland Goldman and Harkaway Fan. At lunch hour on Sunday some of the beaglers decided to have pack race and later went into some woods with 6 beagles, intending to run a cotton-tail or "jack," but 1% ended up with the pack starting a fox and ran it for about a mile so that the spectators had a good look at it before they were stopped and picked up.
